AMERICA WILL BE is a collaborative film project documenting how organizers across the country are building the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. The project emerged out of 15 years of media advocacy and organizing together with media makers across the United States. It is led by filmmaker Dara Kell, with the support of Adam Barnes and Charon Hribar of the Kairos Center. The project is evolving as the conditions of poverty and climate change demand new, innovative forms of organizing. Learn more at americawillbe.org

FIGHTING FOR A LIVING - web series

I was commissioned by South Africa’s leading social justice law firm to create a 4-part documentary series that expands and deepens our understanding of how South African communities are demanding change, using the law. The films also showcase how a new generation of young human rights lawyers are drawing on South Africa’s strong tradition of public interest lawyering to keep the promise of our constitutional democracy.
